| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse field contains a multi-line Latin text inscription arranged across the plain field, recording the decree of the Republic issued under the bond of the Confederation formed on 5 December 1792 during the reign of Stanislaus Augustus. The peripheral legend, reading EX MARCA PURA COLONIENSI along the right and lower border and 1793 * 10 7/16 along the upper border, indicates the Cologne mark fineness standard and the date. All lettering is in raised Roman capitals of varying size, with a small star serving as a separator in the upper legend. The composition is purely epigraphic, with no figural or heraldic devices, consistent with the austere political character of the Targowica Confederation commemorative issue. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
By 1793, the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth was in its death throes. This coin was struck the same year as the Second Partition, when Russia and Prussia carved off roughly half the remaining Commonwealth territory in a deal Stanisław August was coerced into ratifying under Russian military occupation of Warsaw. A copper talar of this weight was an unusual denomination for the period — the talar was traditionally a silver coin, and issuing it in copper reflects the fiscal desperation of a state that had already lost its monetary coherence along with its borders.
The Targowica Confederation, the pro-Russian noble faction that gave this issue its name, had invited Russian intervention a year earlier.
